The monastic craft of the old abbey of Loo
With Echte Loo you bring a special classic from Belgium into your home. Today, this cheese is still prepared according to the traditional and authentic recipe of the monks from the old abbey of Loo. It is a typical semi-hard regional cheese with an unprecedentedly rich history. The dairy of the cheese is beautifully soft and supple, causing the cheese to melt slowly on the tongue.
What really gives this cheese its unique and recognizable character is the special ripening. The cheese undergoes a washed rind treatment with a so-called red smear culture. This red culture not only provides the characteristic orange-brown exterior, but also penetrates deep into the cheese. The result is a robust and spicy aroma with a complex, slightly sharp aftertaste. The Echte Loo is the ultimate cheese for an extensive cheese board. It looks fantastic next to a nice Trappist beer or a sparkling glass of La Chouffe.
Freshly cut from the knife for the highest quality
At GoudaCheeseShop.com we treat this authentic regional cheese with the greatest care. As soon as we receive your order, we only cut your piece of Echte Loo fresh from the large cheese. Immediately afterwards, your cheese is packed tightly and completely airtight in a vacuum. To optimally protect the delicate structure and the rich red smear aromas during shipping, we always send your order including a cooling pack. This allows you to bring absolute top quality into your home, which you can easily keep fresh in the refrigerator for weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions about Echte Loo cheese
Is the rind of Echte Loo edible?
Although the red smear culture ensures the unique flavor development of this cheese, it is generally not recommended to eat the rind itself (partly due to the presence of natamycin in the rind for protection). We advise cutting away the rind before consumption.
Is this cheese suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, the Echte Loo is prepared with microbial rennet. This is a plant-based and vegetarian alternative to animal rennet. This makes this cheese fit perfectly into a vegetarian diet.
How can I best serve this cheese?
The Echte Loo comes into its own in terms of flavor best if you take the cheese out of the refrigerator about half an hour before consumption. Serve it at room temperature on a rustic cheese board, accompanied by some grapes, nuts and a strong specialty beer.
Do you also sell other Belgian cheeses?
Absolutely! In addition to the Echte Loo, we also have various other delicious regional and abbey cheeses from Belgium in our assortment. View our complete category Belgian cheese to discover all our flavorful southern neighbors.
